Our camel wool comes from a two-humped Bactrian camel undercoat. The animal is hand combed while shedding. The camel wool has great thermostatic properties which protect and insulate the camel in high mountain cold while keeping cool in desert heat. It provides the best insulation of all wools. It is antibacterial (thus antiodor), breathable, water repellent and provides natural UV protection. Raw undyed camel hair has a typical golden brown color.
